Daniel Lyons Scott

 Daniel Lyons Scott, 29. of Bradenton, Florida plead guilty to multiple charges for his part in J6 riot. The Proud Boy member goes by his nickname, Milkshake. He looks like he consumed a lot of them, along with a lot of chicken wings, steaks, burgers, beers. 

"Scott helped lead a charge against law enforcement that ultimately led to the rioters gaining access to the interior of the Capitol building." 

He faces up to 28 years in prison. Of course judges have been giving slap on the wrist lenient sentences. Dangers to the U.S. of A. ~ trump still leading them to do more violence. I would not trust them to be free. 

Jason Farris

 Jason Farris, age 44, of Arlington Texas: 

 *hit the baton of officer holding bike rack

*other rioters grabbed one of the bicycle racks and tried to pull it away

*Farris  shoved an officer in the back with both hands, knocking him to the ground

*the others pulled the bike rack away from guards and carried it into the crowd

Why do mawas keep saying it was a) not a riot, b) peaceful protest, c) no violence? 

'Cause Mawas are good #45 parrots, I imagine. 

The State of the Union

"Because the soul of this nation is strong, because the backbone of this nation is strong, because the people of this nation are strong, the State of the Union is strong.

As I stand here tonight, I have never been more optimistic about the future of America. We just have to remember who we are.

We are the United States of America and there is nothing, nothing beyond our capacity if we do it together."

Quote is from President Biden's 2023 State of the Union transcript. In my mind, he ended the speech, loudly proclaiming: "the State of the Union is strong," followed by the typical "God Bless America." 

Yesterday I skimmed through a few articles about the SOTU address. I did not find those words; hence searched for the transcript. I started reading the entire thing, but quickly scrolled to the end, to find what I wanted to share. I forced self to watch it all, although I was tempted to change channels several times.

I read a CNN fact check. Basically the stats Biden quoted were true. But CNN noted that they did not accurately prove Joe's claims, as to being responsible for positive outcomes, such as low unemployment rates. 

I do not know that the state of the union is strong. I would say the state of the union is discontent. 

Who Is Nicholas Adamopoulos?

 Who is this guy, Nick Adams, who tweeted:

"This snub of Kid Rock only confirms what we already knew, the Grammys are rigged against respectable pro-God musicians."

An Australian born FOX news political commentator, born Nicholas Adamopoulos. 

Someone replied to the Tweet: Kid Rock should be the most popular artist out there, he's being blackballed for singing about the truth! 

I assume by "the truth" he meant the F*** laden :We The People Tune," which was a rant against "Brandon," Fauci, vaccines, masks and so on. 

Sample lyrics from Kid Rock's Cool Daddy Cool song:

“Young ladies, young ladies
I like 'em underage see
Some say that's statutory
(Joe C.) But I say it's MANDATORY!”

LOL This is what passes as "respectable pro-God" now-a-days? What god would that be?

Lauren Boebert

Lauren Boebert sermon used: 

 "May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership. May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor." Psalm 109.8

As her prayer for President Joe Biden. "But he has an insurance policy ~ Kamela Harris." Those "good Christians" in her church laughed in agreement. 

So basically Boebert is saying she will not assassinate Joe because she does not want Kamerla to take over? 

A good example making the case for separation of church and state. Of course, she believes that her church should run the government.

GOP is The Party of Rule-or-Ruin, putting those types of haters who call themselves Christians  into Congress. 

Grayson Sherrill ~ peaceful?

 Grayson Sherrill of Cherryville, North Carolina, age 23 plead guilty after family members turned him into FBI.

"As Sherrill approached the Capitol, Sherrill saw downed metal barricades and broken fencing around the Capitol building. Sherrill and his co-defendants made it to the West front of the Capitol, where Sherrill observed other rioters climbing scaffolding, scaling walls, and fighting with the police, including spraying chemical irritants and throwing objects at police officers. Sherrill witnessed police officers retreating from the rioters.

Sherrill and a co-defendant each picked up a metal pole that had been broken off from a metal bicycle barricade. They carried the metal poles with them throughout the remainder of their time on restricted grounds and inside the Capitol building, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office."

As per staff reporters from The Gaston Gazette/ Penalty for assaulting officer penalty sentence could include 8 year prison term. He bought a "Faraday bag" prior to going to the rally to stop government from tracking his movements. Seems pre-medicated crime.

Duttin Sargent

When Dustin Sargent, 30, of Kunkletown, Pennsylvania, was asked via Facebook message how he thought the protest would go he wrote, that he would want his wife to visit him in hospital if he is dying and that government offiials “may be publicly hung.”

Premedicated violence? 

Bradley Stuart Bennett, 42,

 "I certainly want to get my life out of the train station and get my life moving again," Bradley Stuart Bennett, 42.

Perhaps he should have taken the same plea bargain his former girlfriend, Elizabeth Rose Williams of Kerrville, Texas, a year ago. Now he is trying to delay his trial by seeking a public defender after defending himself for 13 1/2 months after rejecting the plea bargain and firing his attorney.

Start plea bargain process all over again? How about just pleading guilty, get your sentence and your 'train' can leave the station. 

Phillip Young ~ bike rack

 Philip Young, 61, was among the earliest J6 rioters who used a bike rack barrier to attack guards. He later deflated tires on a government vehicle. 

Just another peaceful tourist day at the nation's Capital. 

Derrick Evans

 Derrick Evans is running for a U.S. Congress House seat. 

“I will not compromise my values or beliefs. That’s what politicians do. We need Patriots not politicians."

His values and beliefs lead him to join the mob trying to stop counting of electoral college votes, at bidding of then president.

Patriots do not try to overturn an election. I see that GOP congress will not let ban of guns in Congress to stand. So add Derrick Evans to Congress, so he, MTG, Boebert, Santos, Hawley, Scott, and the others can try to overthrow the government from within the Congress floor ~ free for all shootout with T/Bannon team winning this time?

I do not know if the AP article by Alanna Durkin Richer & Michael Kunzelman is accurate. It states that Evans plead guilty to a felony, He was sentenced to 3 months in jail for civil disorder. He told the judge he regretted his "crucial mistake."

Now that he is running for office, he says he is" telling the truth" ~ what he told the judge ~ that he regretted it everyday, good person who unfortunately was caught up in a moment," was just for the judge and media. (Hoping for a lighter sentence, which he got.)

He now confesses he regrets that he lost almost everything, his job as state delegate, time with his kids. 

I thought felons are not allowed to vote. How can he serve as an elected official? Makes no sense to me.

Since he is in West Virginia, he is likely to get elected. 

Joseph Pavlik ~ heave, ho

 Joseph Pavlik, 65, Chicago Firefighter, was part of "B squad" that forced their way through guards to enter the Capitol building on J6. He wore a gas mask, and tactical vest.

Again, if this was simply a tourist visit (on day Capitol was closed to the public) why dress for war? He and his squad spent hours inside, with Pavlik shouting "heave ho," as they pushed past guards. He is aligned with Three Percenters hate group.

He posted on his Facebook page on 12/14/2020:
"These aren't Americans they are indoctrinated socialists that hate America and hate Americans. We need to be much more brutal than punching and kicking, this is not some simple street disagreement."

---

They who? He sounds like someone who was successfully taught to accept certain beliefs without any critical thinking. 

GOP loves to call Democrats "socialist" or "communists" or, now Marxists. So I can only assume Pavlik was indoctrinated by GOP and their talking heads.

Daniel Caldwell ~ tourist came ~ prepared with chemical spray

 Daniel Caldwell, a 51-year-old Marine Corps veteran "tourist" came prepared for the tour of Capitol building on J6, with a chemical irritant. He spayed it at about 15 police officers. The chemical spray created a cloud that made it hard for guards to see, and caused  officer who he sprayed began to “vomit uncontrollably.” 

Now this brave, Semper Fi always loyal to the U.S. of A., cries throughout his court hearing. He regrets his actions, says he should have known better, yada yada. 

I think he is crying for the mess of his personal life, more than out of regret for causing so much damage to the country. 

All these MAWAs and their leader say "they had no weapons." GOP congresspeople are anti-American for not impeaching that man and getting out of government forever more. 

"Life at Conception Act of 2023, " or HB 2885,

 https://www.yahoo.com/news/editorial-life-conception-bill-violates-121700602.html

"Life at Conception Act of 2023" or HB 2885

"preeminent set of divinely created beings commonly and collectively known and referred to as humans or humanity, consisting of two sexes, male and female, which are mutually dependent for procreation ; which are also that same set of divinely created beings descended from the first humans, Adam and Eve, as indicated in the historical record and genealogy provided in the Biblical Book of Genesis..."

Is it any surprise that West Virginia is rated lowest in education?

Jorge Aaron Riley ~ J6 'tourist"

 Jorge Aaron Riley another J6 "peaceful tourist?"

‘I’m here to see what my President called me to DC for. Hello from Sacramento!!!’”

‘We breached over there I think. We broke windows, we went into the door, we pushed our way in, and then we just kept going further and further. ... We went into, there was like a corridor building..We pushed our way to Nancy Pelosi’s office ... and then we were sitting in there yelling ‘f--- you, Nancy Pelosi.’

---

Riley was videotaping and posting while breaching the Capitol building; the "corridor building" was the tunnel between buildings. 

Chadwick Clifton, J6 sentencing

Barbara

Just don't arrest anyone else, erase Jan 6 let Trump walk away a hero, not one more news article ! There is nothing to be proud of being an AMERICAN anymore, a sad day

Oh, wait, Barbara really meant

Walter I was trying to say if they are not going to punish these people just stop pulling our leg stop wasting tax money the sentence is a slap in America face,

---

Most of the comments thought Chadwick Clifton's sentence of 21 days in jail, was too light. His sentence also included  "90 days home detention, three years’ probation and pay $1,000 in fines." His charge was for  “parading, demonstrating or picketing," because he knew he was not supposed to be inside the building due to certifying election results. 

I think the sentence is fair.

Comment by Timothy:

If only he had just burned down Portland and Seattle then he'd be in the clear.

Replies noted that the cities were not burned down, that there had been 14,000 arrests, and Minneapolis fires were set by MAWAs trying to incite a "race war."

---

Timothy and others like him just parrot what T told them on Truth Social. He used those exact words (burning down cities) in he Carolina rally campaign speech.

True history: Trump will go down as leader of White who tried to incite Civil War. Hope, hope, hope, he does not succeed, and he does not go down as the man who destroyed the once great U.S. of A.

Moron?

 "On some great and glorious day," wrote H. L. Mencken in 1920, "the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." 

"In the first eight years of the new century this first prediction is still fodder for debate, but the second is not." ~ unknown

---

Actually the plain folks got their heart's desire in 2016. Plain folks aka: silent majority, or White Supremacists. Remains to be seen if they will start a new civil war as they have threatened to do.

Trump promised “problems ... the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen” if he is indicted. He has called on his thugs saying it is time to "deal with" the "cancer" "weaponized, thugs, tyrants" "FBI, DOJ, Democrats." 

In 2015 I said he was a believer in conspiracy theories. His QAnon support and spreading of their lies proved I was correct. Maybe he does not believe them? Just uses his sales skills to sell them to citizens?

He tested their willingness to act on his commands twice  ~ Michigan State House, and plot to kidnap Whitmer to execute her. Is not anyone paying attention? GOP House want to expunge the two impeachments. They are forming a committee to investigate the people who investigated him and 4 of them.It seems they want to get DJT back in the White House and then..

...we really will not have a country anymore. 

My Reply to Jack Ward

 Is New Jersey  a Mecca's of socialism? A cousin moved to Florida from New Jersey. He is a big trump supporter.

My two war veteran uncles started a print shop business in their father's garage. One uncle was born in Italy, as were their parents, the other in the U.S. of A. The cousin is son of the U.S. of A. born uncle. 

The print shop business flourished. That uncle retired young giving the business to his sons. He retired to Florida, a millionaire to live a life of ease playing golf, making bad investments. The reason he retired young was that he saw his two brothers die young and he wanted to enjoy life. I think he lived into his eighties. His wife, who still lives in Florida, sold their home to move in with my cousin. She is 99.

Never thought about it before, but my uncle and father who both died young were the two born in Italy. Ah, but the sister born there lived longer. The daughter of the uncle who died young, also moved to Florida. I do not know why she and her husband moved there from New Jersey. She despises DJT. 

I have other family that moved to Florida from New Jersey. One cousin on my mother's side of the family also despises Trump. Her foul mouthed brother who still lives in Jersey is so hateful of Democrats, I had to remove him as Facebook friend. 

I can not say what the rest of nieces/nephews politics are. We only communicate via Facebook, and they do not share political stuff. A cousin's daughter I used to babysit for is such a rabid hater of Democrats and lover T and Q/T social lies, I am likely to soon remove her as a FB friend. She also moved to Florida from Jersey.

Another cousin's daughter, a Jersey transplant to Florida, is also anti-trump lies. Her grandma was the sister of my father and two uncles. I guess she still is the sister even though all deceased now? 

Bias?

 Florida Today Letters to the Editor shared at Yahoo news comment:from Martin:

"let's gat the facts straight. these are not readers. they are democrats whining. you don't win a state in a landslide and the media always posts democrat complaining."

Is "gat" a new pronunciation of "get?" I wonder if Martin even read the Letters? The first long letter was praising an author for opinion piece written by a former NYC teacher with educator husband. I do not know if Crosswinds is a political organization.

The Orange Man was about storage units being built in an area that used to be orange groves. The mascot was a a cartoon man with an Orange for his face. That writer mentioned " in a time before our rockets graced the heavens and before a certain rodent came to town," which I think meant DJT. 

The next letter is about a sheriff and public schools. The writer does say Republicans are an embarrassment and need to work with Democrats. It goes on to criticize Biden and Kamela Harris. Might be an Independent or centralist voter.

A letter encouraging men to become guardian ad item, now that the name has been changed from GAL.

Next letter titled: Many Are Blind to Democrats "dual standards." LOL 'nuff said?

The next letter is a rant about George Santos. The writer ends bashing Democrats for this travesty in Congress. 

Followed by a rant about President Biden.

The last explains why Florida is #1. Jack Ward, Melbourne states: "there is a socialist movement rather than a patriotic  movement in the Democrat party."

Jack also asserts "the cost to rent a U-Haul to come to Florida is double what it costs to leave.Soon U-Haul may pay Florida haters to leave in order to return their equipment." Jack does not like people from states like CA and NY and  "Mecca's of socialism."

If the paper is biased, it seems it would be more biased in favor of GOP. 

Mr Pezzola's intention

" Mr Pezzola's intention was only to seize the Capitol building, and not to disrupt Congress." 

If one seized the Capitol on J6, did that not disrupt Congress? 

As theysay, you can not make this stuff up.

As reported by Graig Graziosi on the Independent. Cleaning up blogs, so many links no longer available, so will stop using links to articles.

"This is f***ing awesome. I knew we could take this motherf***er if we just tried hard enough. Proud of your motherf***ing boy,” Mr Pezzola says in the footage, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Interesting tidbit, House just removed ban that prohibited smoking in the Capitol Building offices. Laws prohibit citizens from smoking just about everywhere. Yet makers of laws can make exceptions for themselves.

Maria Shriver

 Maria Shriver comments during a Los Angeles rally for Senator Obama.

if Barack Obama was a state he'd be California

Think about it...diverse, open, smart, independent, bucks tradition, innovative, inspiring, dreamer, leader

not about himself, it is about us ~ the power of us ~ he empowers all of us

what kind of America do I believe in (have conversation with yourself and ask in your heart)

do I believe in an America that's about  unity, its about coming together, its about seeing beyond the labels,you gotta see beyond the labels that divide us

we should give a shout out to everyone who is running for president of the United States*

California is about unity, and because we're all about leadership, * I really believe these all good people all following their own(truth) (choice?), they're all following their own voice and they all believe they can make a difference in this country

---

I have been searching for a stump speech from Obama's campaign that impressed me. I thought perhaps it was Carolina Kennedy. What I remember was something like: 

We all want the same thing for the country, we just disagree on how to get it. Maria Shriver's speech was the closest that I found to what I recall hearing.
